Just in case you needed a reason to slap your forehead and despair for humanity this morning, how about a recent report from CBC's Marketplace program on anti-vaccine myths being fed to new parents in the Great White North, eh?
My ex-sister-in-law had a masters degree in mechanical engineering from distinguished university, yet was, unaccountably, a homeopathy enthusiast. (Well maybe not entirely unaccountably, since she was also a Mormon.) So I asked her: When you design a hot-water heating system, do you design in a few small leaks to keep it from developing larger ones?
It was Thanksgiving, and that may have been the moment at which things began to go downhill.
Golden&#039;s &quot;research&quot; consisted of watching that one episode of <em>M*A*S*H</em> where the doctors handed out sugar pills because they were all out of morphine, and through the power of positive thinking all the patients felt better.
No snark, few things make me more pissed off than anti-vax propaganda. The crowning touch is usually &quot;parents have to choose what&#039;s right for their family&quot;, as though blindness and death are lifestyle choices in the same manner as one&#039;s choice of vacation destinations.
the answer is obvious- moar married babbies
I think the result is a person who won&#039;t knock on MD&#039;s doors.
That&#039;s why they&#039;re called upfists
I had chicken pox, my three sisters have had shingles, I got the shingles vaccine 2 years ago. Never too late!
Thanks very much. Had to take the rest of the day off (from commenting) after that one, as I was unlikely to do any better.
And it&#039;s a true story!
Although, not from your neck.
Fucking Homeopaths.

My admiration for this comment cannot be measured in mere thumbs-up.
TL;DR
I&#039;ve got to go finish <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ear_candling" target="_blank">candling my ears</a> . . .
More of the homeopath agenda being crammed down throats. They will not be satisfied until homeopaths can marry and force bakers to bake them cakes.
Homeo...something ... No, they are the ones who have destroyed marriage.
Probably that <i> ext. Spanish Fly</i> works just as well.
Perhaps catching flies in Spain would be a good way to spend my retirement (if I ever get to retire).
